The number 2 seed at Wimbledon has made it into the quarterfinals of the tournament. At this stage of the event, Aryna Sabalenka is set to play against Ons Jabeur from Tunisia.
It has been a strong tournament for Ons Jabeur as she has already defeated the likes of Venus Williams and Garbine Muguruza. In the previous round, Jabeur won her match in 3 sets. The Tunisian superstar lost her opening round fixture but fought back strongly to win the final 2 sets and the match. During the win, Ons Jabeur impressed with her receiving as she won over 50% of her receiving points which allowed her to break her opponent’s serve on 7 occasions. This is expected to be a tougher match for Ons Jabeur as she is playing against the number 2 seed.

It has been a good tournament for Sabalenka and with the draw being kind to her, she will be hoping to challenge for the title. Aryna Sabalenka has been in strong form and that is going to make her tough to beat in this tournament.
Aryna Sabalenka and Ons Jabeur have played each other twice in the past with both players winning on 1 occasion each. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season in the Fed Cup where Aryna Sabalenka won in straight sets.
Taking everything into notice, I am going to pick Sabalenka to win this match. Sabalenka is the stronger player and she has the ability to control the match, unlike her opponent. I see Sabalenka being good enough to win this match in straight sets.
